A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, compact letterforms and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in bowls and counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a dense, even color, while terminals are blunt and clean for a highly graphic finish. Curves are tightened into squared-off rounds, and proportions are tall with relatively narrow apertures, giving the face a compressed, forward-leaning rhythm across both caps and lowercase. Figures follow the same compact, sporty logic, reading clearly at display sizes with a consistent, sturdy silhouette.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, and callouts where a compact footprint and strong emphasis are helpful. It also fits sports and motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and bold wayfinding or signage that benefits from a brisk, modern voice.
The overall tone feels fast, forceful, and utilitarian, with a strong sense of motion from the oblique stance. Its compact width and blocky roundness suggest contemporary performance branding—confident, assertive, and built for impact rather than quiet text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure: a sturdy, forward-leaning sans that reads as contemporary and performance-oriented. The superelliptical rounding softens the geometry just enough to stay friendly while remaining decisively graphic.
Spacing appears tuned for headline composition, with tight interior shapes that emphasize verticality and momentum. The lowercase maintains a controlled, schematic feel, and the punctuation and numerals visually match the same condensed, high-impact color.
